Gentlemen who value classic elegance often wonder what to wear in the summer. This season is mainly dominated by loose jackets, light suits and white long-sleeved shirts. Short sleeves have been "censored" for years, but there are some exceptions. A gentleman in his wardrobe must find a place for polo shirts.
Famous T-shirts
Polo shirts have a long and extremely interesting history that dates back to the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries. In those days, people performed tennis sets in very uncomfortable and uncomfortable suits. One of the greatest athletes of his time decided to change the established trends. Jean René Lacoste (also called Crocodile) invented the short-sleeved comfortable shirt and showed it at the US Open in 1926. The Frenchman was very different from the rest of the tennis players in his light wardrobe. The product was made of breathable cotton and also had a soft collar. It turned out that the new style generated a lot of interest among other players. They began to look with envy at comfortable T-shirts. This inspired Lacoste. He decided to start mass production of tennis clothing.
Polo - casual fashion
Eventually, polo shirts took to the streets. The T-shirt became popular thanks to American students from the Ivy League, an elite association that promoted the preppy style. Members of the Ivy League have opted for simple cuts, free from unnecessary frills and made from high quality fabrics. Initially, polos were made only in white, today such models are also considered basic, but the choice is wide. Clearer, brighter colors are in fashion.
Polo in a summer wardrobe
Today it is very popular to combine a sports shirt and traditional shorts. This is just a dream for a fashionable person on vacation, the beach, meeting friends. Get sneakers or lightweight moccasins, and the shirt will accentuate the charm of summer shorts.
